Garfield #5

The lasagna-loving tabby gets a superheroic surprise in this 2012 KaBOOM! release, as a wide-eyed Garfield looks up in awe at the costumed quartet of Pet Force — including a caped Garfield-lookalike in a paw-emblazoned suit, a purple-clad feline villain type, a sleek lightning-bolt hero, and a powerfully built canine in red-and-blue armor — all bursting forward from a glowing cosmic backdrop. Gary Barker's cover art balances the humor perfectly, with regular Garfield's thought bubble cheekily noting "They were in a movie, too!" Inside, Mark Evanier scripts "The Mouse Who Wanted To Be A Cat," with art by Mike DeCarlo and colors by Lisa Moore delivering the warm, playful energy fans of Jim Davis's beloved orange cat have come to expect.
